Read this, then ask yourself: Isn't it amazing the riots haven't started yet?

161. Exactly. Aside his sociopathy, my ex and I would've made a great team. He made $ hand over fist

partly because he had no scruples. But it also flowed through his fingers like water. Several times he worked us into near-ruinous debt, then in desperation he'd turn the checkbook over to me to dig us out. Every time w/o fail, as soon as I had his head above water again, he'd spend it faster than ever and not on his family either. In fact he managed to stomp around hollering that a family was a burden and a detriment to a man. Well, that was partly due to my liberal political activism, but it still hurt.

Since he retired from a major rightwing group to become a Washington lobbyist, he really brings in the big bucks now. But I know he'll also die in hock up to his eyeballs w/o a single day of true peace or justifiable satisfaction in his life. I might have extremely little by comparison, but it's mine, not the bank's, and I can sleep at night. I never was so well shed of a person in my life. When he left, I piled his underwear in the driveway, surrounded it with brush, and lit a bonfire. The volunteer fire department showed up and I passed around the beer while we all had a good laugh.
